Well, he might not say it in public, but he will hold it over his brother’s head throughout his life. And though the NFC lost that particular game, Eli Manning led the conference to an overall win over his brother Peyton Manning and the AFC. Sibling rivalry is the main theme of the NFL this season, it seems.
